President Donald J. Trump

[albrecht]

I'm like the ravens in the Tower of London, the place would fall apart without me.

I think the tide turned towards Brexit via hidden, deep Royal machinations when the Queen realized that immigrants were eating her swans. Raping some kids, beheading a soldier in broad-daylight on a city street, blowing up a bus- nothing to worry about. Small beer. But start interfering with royal property!

Hmmm, but it didn't. Brexit happened because Johnson, Gove and Farage convinced enough that a figure of 350 million quid a week was being poured into the EU and on leaving, would go to the NHS. Both a lie. They also promised that immigration would stop; it won't stop it. It might reduce it and it will almost certainly fuck up companies that rely on European employees freely moving back and forth through Europe. And it also has non British spouses being deported even though they've been married to their spouses for in some cases decades. Still; Farage will answer the problems, oh wait..he's too busy sucking the cock of Trump and Bannon.

I've never watched the Apprentice before. Does the Donald give a rose to the Supreme Court winner that President Bannon chose?

I feel robbed that we aren't going to be allowed to watch the swimsuit round.

Yet Ferrett Boy remains unscathed.  That proves he's one of them.

It will be there; be patient. Bannon is growing new designer stubble.

I said "hidden." Those rich, landowning classes, especially Royalty, don't like to mix about with the hoi polloi- but you poach on their lands- or worse when immigrants start BBQing the Queen's swans there will be hell to pay.

But seriously, companies have done business, and people married foreigners- and even traveled- heck your own ROYALTY is German- before the EU. You are like the crazies here. The sky is falling! The world is ending. The end is nigh! Some random Muslim can't fly in to the country on a whim with out being checked. An illegal can't waltz across the border with out papers. Oh My! Heaven forfend! It is the end of the world!

I just listened to a diatribe and interview that women in Kenya would be facing hardship because the US is going to stop paying for their abortions (technically 'family planning' since money can't go directly for abortion but if the place/group advocates or provides it might be cut off.) Why the hell should I be paying for ANYTHING for ANYBODY in Kenya? Arguably the Crown or UK should, white man's burden and history, but if I want I will give to charity to send condoms to Kenya or abort Kenyan children- but our tax money via USAID and grants? Screw that.

It is true that might be a bit more difficult but I doubt much so, remember although before the EC/EU it was more difficult there are has been a lot of technological improvement- so paperwork, contracts, logistics, tax reciprocity, customs, lines of credit, etc can be done a lot quicker than in the pre-EC or EU days where computers even were a new thing.

As if the world didn't exist without the EU, NAFTA, or wide open-borders. You can still have trade, travel, and even 'foreign relations' without them. Has been done for centuries- if not longer.
ps: Farage is working for Murdoch's American outfit, last I heard. Though maybe he can't get a VISA waiver!

It's Neil Gorsuch.  The man is a superstar.  If the Dems attempt to assassinate this man's character they are certain to be hoisted on their own pitard.  He clerked for Byron "Wizzer" White.  Jeez, I hope the Dems have a go at him.

You take the prize for understatement of the year. The EU is noted for its bureaucracy, post Brexit, it will be incredible. A different trade deal for every country dealt with. With an army of staff for each.

Employees having to have a work permit and travel visa for every European country they might work in. Yeah. its going to be sooo smooth!

He clerked for Kennedy also. The Senate voice-voted him during his last confirmation and the A.B.A. rated him as "unanimously well qualified."
Dems might have a tough time rerailing him but hypocrisy is never beneath them or just trying to mess things up out of spite and being sore losers. And look out for lots of 'fake news.'

Well no they won't. Some will try delay it though. Nothing personal; that's how it was trotted out when Obama tried to get a new SCOTUS.

Anyway, Bannon has said the press are the opposition.

It would seem to be the case, at least on the national level, for the most part. I can't think of any large paper that is not owned by a large, corporate entity or super rich internationalist or that considers "America First," as a real first priority or editorial policy. Even the vaunted "conservative" Fox is really just the "shock-jock" branch of an international media empire that spans borders and doesn't own any allegiance to any certain country. There are local new agencies that will report on local stories and can it picked nationally by more partisan outfits (so someone on Breitbart, for example, can read about the 11 year old girl here who was gangraped by illegal aliens) but the major ones: NPR, ABC, Fox (rarely might,) CBS, NYTimes, WashPo (will cover the MS-13 problem because killing people in N.Va where much of them live,) WSJ, won't but instead always print 'human interest' stories how of the Obama/Trump "ban" or vetting is hurting these poor Muslims and precious illegals who are scared they might have to comply with laws. Oh some Kenyan won't get an abortion or get access to condoms due to Trump policy. Oh, so sad. The good papers, like WSJ, will have good content with regard to economic facts, effects, of policy but even then skews towards an international business, globalism outlook.

With any luck we can line up all the Trump voters against the big, beautiful Mexican wall and shoot them.

[Luka Megurine]

With any luck we can line up all the Trump voters against the big, beautiful Mexican wall and shoot them. Bloody hell, what's wrong with some people if they can look at this and not see problems?

You would have to get me to the wall first big boy, and thats not going to happen because i own guns made for watering the tree of liberty

[albrecht]

WSJ had a bit today that it surprised me nobody was mentioning before. The biggest beneficiary of The Wall would likely be CEMEX nobody else has enough to built in and it would bring lots of jobs to Hispanics (on both sides) and CEMEX itself and is subsidiaries in the US and lots of money into CEMEX pockets. That is likely Trump's bargaining chip with the Mexican government. Mexico is very, very corrupt and if The Wall benefits those uber rich people's companies, or some kick-backs to local politicians, the politicians will fall into line.

What I would like to see happen is for the Dems to try to "Bork" Gorsuch thereby setting up the following scenario:

A.  The Dems apply a full court press using all the foul tactics they usually use. 

B.  They drag out  the process so that they are seen for the obstructionist they truly are.

C.  When they can't drag it out any longer they  launch a filibuster.

D.  Thank's to Harry Reid who was the first to use the nuclear option (albeit not with Supreme Court nominees) Mitchell goes nuclear invoking cloture and changing the rules so that only a simple majority is required for confirmation vice 60 votes.

E.  When Trump nominates the next replacement Justice  (or possibly the next 2) it will be smooth sailing with only a simple majority of the Senate to convince of their qualifications.

This is a no win situation for the Dems and I love it.

Or; He might be so independent that Trump and Bannon go off the boil with him. Trump has a huge weakness; he assumes everyone must love him, without question. He forgets that even American officials put the law and the procedure before the President.

That would be fine too.

I'm all for officials being above politics. As long as everyone from the top down accepts that.

It's always a race to the bottom isn't it.  I have used dredged up expletives here that I haven't used since I was a young sailor.
